Thorough Phase I ESA review saves client from $15,000 expense.
Chicago, Illinois
The Challenge
A developer faced a high-stakes situation just one week before closing on a mixed-use building in Chicago. The original consultant’s Phase I ESA recommended a costly $15,000 Phase II assessment, but the developer sought a second opinion to ensure they weren’t being overcharged.
The Hanis Consulting Difference
Upon reviewing the initial Phase I ESA, Hanis Consulting quickly identified significant shortcomings in the report. The original consultant had flagged a historic “printing facility” as a contamination risk, but a deeper investigation revealed it was merely a card and gift shop. Recognizing the error, we recommended a new Phase I ESA instead of proceeding with the unnecessary Phase II.
The Result
In just a few days, we completed the new Phase I ESA, providing accurate results that confirmed no environmental concerns. The client avoided the unnecessary $15,000 Phase II assessment and was able to close the deal on time, saving both money and peace of mind.
